Carrie Bradshaw on The Carrie Diaries

Did you see last night's episode of The Carrie Diaries on the CW? If so, you may have caught Carrie wearing the Good Enough to Eat Dress ($69.99) from ModCloth. Featuring a heaping helping of color and a scrumptious print of hot dogs, hamburgers, cupcakes, soda, ice cream, popcorn, candy, ice pops, french fries, sundaes, and cherries, this dress can only be described as delicious!

Lily hosted an autograph signing event to celebrate the launch of her highly anticipated capsule collection for Velvet by Graham & Spencer. The appearance allowed shoppers to have an opportunity to interact and shop alongside the supermodel and designer herself.Lily’s sister and fellow model, Ruby Aldridge, stopped by to show her support!

Last night on Project Runway, Lord & Taylor hosted the show's ninth episode challenge. Michelle Franklin was announced as the winner and, as part of her prize, Lord & Taylor will produce her winning dress design to be sold exclusively at select stores, including its Fifth Avenue flagship, and on LordandTaylor.com.

The dress officially launches in stores today and retails for $259. In addition, Franklin will make a personal appearance at Lord & Taylor's Fifth Avenue store today from 12:30-2PM to meet with customers and sign sketches of her winning design.

Michelle’s passion has always been to create. From as early as high school, Michelle
bought used clothing in bulk to reconstruct into garments that fit her style. With no
formal fashion training, Michelle has designed and created garments for every major
event in her life, from her prom dress to her wedding dress. After a long career in the Oregon wine industry, Michelle decided to follow her lifelong passion and pursue
fashion full time. Since then, she has formed her own clothing line, Au Clothing, and has shown her designs at Portland Fashion Week. Michelle’s design aesthetic is geek chic for smart women, and she is not wavered by trends.

As music enthusiasts everywhere gear up to brave the Inland Empire's heat to see their favorite bands and artists perform, attire is sure to be on the forefront of the minds of many festival-goers. Here are some suggestions for how to dress (and stay fashionable) for the temperamental SoCal weather:

1. Layer it on.

When the sun goes down in the desert, temperatures drop. Be prepared for any weather by layering your wardrobe. Make the practical look chic by mismatching textures, patterns, and colors-the oh-so-boho vibe is sure to turn heads at the concert.

Levi's Authentic Trucker Jacket ($98) is a classic. Its lightweight cotton material makes it perfect for layering. We like it in the light destructed finish paired with a flowy dress or over a plain white t-shirt with a pair of colorful shorts.

2. Don't be afraid of color.
Add contrast to the desert hues by throwing a pop of color in your outfit. This season, we like bold-but-beachy colors, like turquoise, coral, and mint.

I fell in love with the The One That Got Away Dress ($36) the first moment that I tried it on. It is a very comfortable, yet flattering dress that can be used for any occasion. I love that it is versatile enough to be casual chic, pairing it with sandals and minimal accessories, or you can glam it up with heels and a statement jewelry piece (i.e. cuff or necklace) or an accessory, such as the belt that I opted for in the picture. Either way, this is the one dress that you don't want to get away!

A little extravagant, a bit unconventional, but loaded with unique individualism, is how one would describe luxury footwear line Alejandra G. Behind all of the exquisite designs, is brilliance that must be appreciated. Composed of exotic printed leathers and eye-catching colors, Alejandra's collections are not only luxurious, but are also must-haves for A-list celebrities like Taryn Manning, Tamera Mowry, and Carly Rae Jepsen.

Now available on one of the worlds leading fashion retailers, Shopbop, Alejandra G's Tyrese in Jawbreaker ($279) is now easier to get your hands on. Mixed prints resemble that of a jawbreaker candy that give these caged platforms a fun and fashion forward flair. A gold zip fastens the inner side, and the striped leather sole is wild and artistic.

Alejandra G's newest Spring/Summer 2013 collection is a combination of classical style meets rocker chic in which her personality is reflected through her collections. From richly colored studded flats to woven platform pumps, Alejandra G perfected the art of footwear design. Alejandra's Fall/Winter 2013 collection is soon to launch with a mix of textures, colors and versatile beauty, which makes her collection exclusive, one of a kind, and most-of-all daring.

This month, Seventeen magazine commits to stopping one of the most difficult problems facing teens today: cyberbullying. Seventeen’s Delete Digital Drama multi-platform campaign gives girls the power to eliminate cyberbullying in their lives by simply hitting “delete” when they see a hurtful comment about themselves or anyone else online.

“Cyberbullying can be crushing for teens,” says Ann Shoket, editor-in-chief of Seventeen. “But with powerful partners and such influential stars on our team, we can spread the message that we all need to delete the digital drama.

A casual look meets cool dip-dyed styling in this short-sleeve tee fighting for a cause.

Designer Nanette Lepore is helping to create awareness for the cause through specially designed [delete] t-shirts to be sold exclusively at JCPenney stores and online at JCP.com. Girls who buy the L'Amour Nanette Lepore Delete Digital Drama Tee ($10; Available in Lively Pink or Very Blue) are encouraged to upload a photo of themselves to Instagram with the hashtag #17delete – they have already been joined in standing up to bullying by their favorite celebrities like Ashley Benson, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and Bella Thorne, a STOMP Out Bullying™ Global Ambassador.

All proceeds from the shirt will benefit STOMP Out Bullying™, an organization committed to reducing and preventing bullying, cyberbullying, sexting, and other digital abuse. JCPenney will also be making a $100,000 donation to the organization.

· Stars Kat Graham (The CW's Vampire Diaries), Ariana Grande (Nick's Victorious) and Bridgit Mendler (singer and star of Disney's Good Luck Charlie) have teamed up with Seventeen to further increase awareness for the cause.

· Bridget Mendler also recorded an exclusive music video for the campaign singing her song "Postcard” about being true to yourself, no matter what.

· OPI created an exclusive #17delete nail polish that will be given out in a street-meets-social campaign throughout New York City on March 18.

· Readers can upload the [delete] digital drama badge to their Facebook and Twitter pages to visibly spread the word.
